Javier Pastore’s comments about Marseille and Lyon in the Surface magazine interview have sparked controversy and backlash. Pastore initially stated that Marseille was “dead,” creating tension between PSG and Marseille fans.

However, Pastore has since taken to Twitter to apologize for any misunderstanding or misinterpretation of his words. In his apology, he clarified that he would never intend to insult the players and the Marseille club.
Despite the apology, tensions may still run high as Pastore’s arrival at the Velodrome is anticipated to be intense. Football rivalries often lead to passionate reactions from fans, and Pastore’s comments may add fuel to the fire when he plays against Marseille. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds during the course of the season.
